‘I Love Dick’ star Kevin Bacon: ‘There are certainly a lot of queer people in my life and there have been for a long time’

Kevin Bacon has been heavily promoting his new Amazon series I Love Dick in recent weeks – a show that is a real departure from his previous series The Following about a serial killer. Bacon plays a man named Dick in the sexually-charged drama from Transparent creator Jill Soloway. Bacon, 58, talked to Out.com about what queerness means to him. He says: ‘There are certainly a lot of queer people in my life and there have been for a long time. To me queer is like to each his own. It’s not our problem. Wherever you fall, whatever you dig it’s good if nobody’s getting hurt. It’s good. Just do your own thing. What’s wrong with love? What’s wrong with love in all of its forms? I think I Love Dick definitely put that across.’
